WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: ITB a bit tight on both sides
MENTAL STATE: good
STOPWATCH: 09

- warm up

- depth jump @16" x 4,4

- DLRVJ build ups x 3 (one, two, three, four-step)

- squat MSEM 285 x 6

- squat MEBM 230 x 16+4
had to rack the bar after 16 reps, rested about 30s and then did four more to get to 20. safety first.

- push ups x F (40)

- kroc row 80 x F (23/side)

- pull up x 7,5,5
to make up the different between kroc reps and push ups

- stretch

good workout, pushed myself a bit harder than usual which is something i should be doing more of. 40 pushups is almost definitely a PR.

the one-handed catches vid is insane. he's not even trying, if they had a machine pitching him the balls at a higher rate he'd have caught more.

what did he do last fall?

basically he announced in a crazy internet-training-guru-style advertising page that, while most people had known him as an expert on nutrition and training, he'd been living a double life as a gonzo pornographer and was going to release a tell-all book (and maybe videos? or something?) about his experiences. he's obviously since taken it down, but it was pretty obvious even at the time and even from the remove that i have from him -- i've been a member of his "secret" forum for years but never a major poster and i've only had a little personal contact with him -- that something wasn't right. the grandiosity, the verboseness made it seem like a manic or at least hypomanic episode. and i'd suspected for years that he was at least depressive. bipolar makes perfect sense.

had more than usual but not a ton of alcohol last night, 6-7 drinks total, all beer. was absolutely crippled today. vomiting, weakness, headache well into the afternoon. took a nap this afternoon, which i basically never do. no booze tonight, lots of sleep, hope for hard workout tomorrow.

watched a track meet on TV after my nap. made me want to go run.

if you're a couple inches taller (i'm 5'11 in the morning, lol) and have normal arms then yeah your reach is probably ~7'8-9.

uh, aren't you the same height as me? your reach is probably a little higher because i've got shortish arms but not THAT much higher. i touch 7'6 standing still, which means bottom of palm at rim is about 35-36".

this morning:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little bit
MENTAL STATE: sluggish
STOPWATCH: ???

- shoot around, layups, DSVJ
very slow, legs dead. did not even attempt DLRVJ, would have been ugly. left shoulder bothering me a little bit, need to take it easy. it's so close to being healed. good that i forced myself up and to the gym even if this wasn't much of a workout. rhythm's gotta start somewhere.

- stretch

this evening:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder
MENTAL STATE: okay
STOPWATCH: 12

- warm up

- DLRVJ
pretty bad, jumping with glasses instead of contacts always throws me a little.

- stretch legs/lats x 10 mins

- squat 195 x 20
very solid

- stretch quads

I don't get the "need" for what he wrote. Meaning, why would you "apologize"?

because he was a deeply shitty person to a lot of people over the years, a superficially shitty person to a lot more people, and because he did something completely insane and weird last fall that threw a lot of people for a loop.

last night:

WEIGHT: 175, somebody fixed the scale so it's not giving an 8-pound range anymore. good job, gym.
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: jammed left wrist; left knee and hip, lateral side, in end-range flexion*
MENTAL STATE: good
STOPWATCH: ??? forgot

- warm up

- 3-on-3 ball
dudes needed a sixth for their last game and i figured why not. low level of competition so not too embarrassing for me, lol. 1's and 2's to 13, i had 4-5 points, bunch of rebounds, played okay D, no airballs haha. and my team won after my teammates had lost two in a row to the other three guys.

- DLRVJ x 10
rested a little bit, then went right to full approaches. dunked dodgeball cleanly once and back ironed a few more, jumps without ball were 35+. so not PR levels but very good for me. this goes without saying, but getting CNS fired up during competition makes a huge difference. jammed my left wrist at some point but it was okay. no pain today.

- squat MSEM 300 x 3,3
remembered to fire myself up a bit. weight flew, will go to 305 next time.

- stretch

this morning:

was supposed to wake up early this morning for jumps but i slept badly last night so i turned off my alarm and got the extra hour. sleep quality has been bad the last three nights. will try to do better tonight and get up early tomorrow but until i get on the new rhythm of earlier bedtime i think sleep is going to have to take precedence. chronic undersleeping -> illness.

tonight will jump more, will try ME jumps if the court is open and otherwise submax build-ups. and then upper lifting only.

*i.e., when doing a side lunge all the way down, like this:

word. might pick up a pair in that case. i've been enjoying jumping in my super-light tennis shoes but maybe it's time to start experimenting with racers again. i did hit my all-time PR in xc flats. but nzwrs were/are too narrow for my feet and not generous enough in the toe box to accommodate my arthritic toes.  :-[
